PPARATS FOR BALING LOOSEMATERIAYIS.

Appnm'io' filed August 5, 1920.

y Be it kn'ownvthatrI, GrorrrRrEDl VIELGER, manufacturer, residing atSeehausen, district lVanzleben, Republic of Germany, have inventedcertain .newand useful Improvements in the Apparatus for 'Baling LooseMaterial, ofjwhich theffollowing is a speci- My invention relates toimprovements in apparatus f'o'rfbalingl loose'*material"'and moreparticularly material the particles of which are veryshort such aschaff. IVhen baling such materialt'he balesl must be bordered at theirsides by cleats or boards in order to have sufiiciently coherent bales.The object of the improvements is to provide an apparatus for makingbales which are coherent when leaving the press and which canconveniently be bound after being baled. IVith this object in view myinvention consists in constructing the partitions to be placed betweensuccessive bales in superposed sections each of which is designed to bebound to and border one of the adjacent bales, and which are providedwith suitable grooves or passages permitting the insertion of a bindingelement therethrough.

In the preferred form the said sections are provided with connectingmeans of such construction as to maintain the proper relative positionof the sections and alignment of the said grooves during the baling andbinding operation and to allow the said sections readily to separateafter binding.

In order that my invention may be more clearly understood the preferredforms of apparatus embodying the same have been shown in theaccompanying drawing, in which the same letters of reference have beenused in all the views to indicate corresponding parts. In said drawing,

'such a way that in the assembled position of the sections correspondinggrooves are in register with each other so as to provide between thesections a single passage.

, VAs shown the vgrooves are providedby cutting or fraising the samefrom the body of each section. The-section a is provided 'with pinsV (lpreferably disposed at diametrically oppositecorners and fitting incorresponding sockets e of the section l), whereby a loose In ba'lingthe sections a and b are placed upon each other 1n such a waythat'correa single passage and that the" pinsd fit in the sockets e. Theassembled partition is put into the baling press. After baling suitablebinding elements are passed through the passages provided by the groovesc and around the adjacent bales, whereupon the bales can be taken apart,the sections of the partitions l1)'emaining each on one side of aseparate ale.

In the modification sections al and b1 having the grooves pressing- InFig. 4 I have shown a modification in which the grooves c2 are providedon cleats (Z2 secured respectively to the sections a2 and b2. The pinsZ2 and sockets e arel provided on the cleats.

For binding the bales the binding elements for adjacent bales must bepassed through the same passages. Therefore, it may happen, that theends of the two binding elements are erroneously changed, or that thesaid elements are entangled within their passages. Therefore I prefer todivide each passage into two separate passages by means of a partitionf3, as is shown in Fig.

In some cases I provide a plurality of narstead of single broad plates,which boards are preferably fitted in corresponding cutfm of thep'artition'fs. v'Ihe method of baling consists in placing the'combinedpartitions a, Zf-al, bh-as, f3, 723, etc.,'into the trunk wherein thematerial is being 'baled After the material has been compressed bandsare passed through the passages c, g3, 71,3, etc., by means of whichvthe sections ofthe partitions are tied each and when'taking the balesbordered at its front and rear ends by the sections a and brespectively. Where a partition f3, f4,f5,or f6 is used the saidpartition drops from the bales, so that it can directlybe used again'.
